The boy who cried wolf is a story where someone repeatedly makes incorrect warnings that the community acts on until they stop believing him. This is like the exact opposite. The left has repeatedly and accurately warned that a specific political movement is fascist and been ignored the entire time. The term was not "overused to the point of meaninglessness" people just dismissed the warning without thinking cause they didn't understand the word and couldn't be fucked to learn or listen
So, neither of you are wrong. It was used correctly and people are numb to it.
Since they didn't see stormtroopers at their doors, they figured there's no real danger. They didn't see that one group losing rights meant that they didn't have rights either.
The regime is doing a good job of not terrifying their base and at the same time keeping them brainwashed and inflicting harm on the various outgroups.
What you're seeing here, I think, is two echo chambers conflicting.
This is one of the areas that made me realize I was to the left of liberals. Too many people telling me to calm down, it won't affect me, I'm a white woman, stop being dramatic. Like, bitch, I was raised in a red state, I know that being white won't protect me when they come after women. Just like how being white and male won't protect you when they come for the lower class.
Dude I feel you it doesn't take much to be left of the liberals in this country either cuz they're just just conservativism light!
No kidding. I was raised by Tea Partiers, and moving left really needs to be made easier. I'm pretty sure the only reason I made it is because I'm privileged enough to be literate, and that's exactly why the right has been axing public education since before I was born.
